elf_getshdr(3E)

NAME
     elf_getshdr, elf32_getshdr, elf64_getshdr - Retrieves class-dependent
     section header

SYNOPSIS
     cc [flag ...] file ...  -lelf [library ...]

     #include <libelf.h>

     Elf32_Shdr *elf32_getshdr(Elf_Scn *scn);

     Elf64_Shdr *elf32_getshdr(Elf_Scn *scn);

IMPLEMENTATION
     IRIX systems

DESCRIPTION
     For a 32-bit class file, elf32_getshdr returns a pointer to a section
     header for the section descriptor scn.  If the file is not a 32-bit
     class file, scn was null, or an error occurred, elf32_getshdr returns
     null.

     The header includes the following members:

     Elf32_Word      sh_name;

     Elf32_Word      sh_type;

     Elf32_Word      sh_flags;

     Elf32_Addr      sh_addr;

     Elf32_Off       sh_offset;

     Elf32_Word      sh_size;

     Elf32_Word      sh_link;

     Elf32_Word      sh_info;

     Elf32_Word      sh_addralign;

     Elf32_Word      sh_entsize;

     If the program is building a new file, it is responsible for creating
     the file's ELF header before creating sections.

     The 64-bit class works identically, simply replacing all instances of
     32 in the description and table with 64.
